Jumo Bakelite jointed lamp black

In 1945, the engineers at the French lamp factory JUMO designed an unfolding and folding lamp which, when needed, stretches out to a height of 41 cm via three joints but, as soon as its light throw is dispensable, shrinks like a turtle by folding in all its extremities and concealing them under a bonnet thanks to its inherent articulation.

The bonnet is the beautifully shaped lampshade (made of Bakelite®). The material quality of the 70 individual parts and their manual assembly explain the price.
